INDIANAPOLIS — Drivers were more frustrated with themselves or their cars than their teams during the Brickyard 400 Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The chatter during and after the race wasn’t as dramatic or inflammatory as usual. But it was Indianapolis, and there was some drama on team radios and some interesting twitter comments after the race.

The conversation this week was highlighted by some genuine heartfelt emotion from Ryan Newman and his wife, Krissie, after Newman's big win.

Scanner Chatter

Crew chief Steve Letarte after Dale Earnhardt Jr. pitted for a loose tire: “Good call, buddy. The right rear was just a little bit loose right there. Just ride it out until we get the lucky dog. It’s still a long race. Great decision to come right there, bud.”

Dale Earnhardt Jr.: “It was getting loose real quick.”

Jeff Gordon: “It turns pretty good now, just got to get some drive off (the corner). As soon as I get on the throttle, it gets loose.”

Crew chief Alan Gustafson: “10-4.”

Gordon spotter Eddie D’Hondt: “That was a good lap right there. Forward bite was real good.”

Gordon: “As soon as I do that, I (expletive) kill the right front tire.”

Jeff Burton, who broke a driveshaft: “No forward drive. Motor is running, but we’ve got no gear. Won’t go in first gear or second gear. … I’m trying to make it back (to pit road).”

Spotter Keith Barnwell: “10-4. I’ve told the official.”

Burton: “I can’t make it roll.”

Barnwell: “We’re not going to make it. Caution is out. … How about we turn it where you are like we do in practice.”

Burton: “I’m not going to make it that far, dude.”

Joey Logano, after NASCAR removed him from the lead to second for not keeping pace-car speed and teammate Brad Keselowski was given the lead: “He went faster. He accelerated. That’s not right. He accelerated to get that spot. That makes no sense. I didn’t slow down at all. I kept my pace and then he accelerated past the whole field, which doesn’t put him in front of me.”
